WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Feb. 22, 2024 – Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A. continues to strategically expand its market-leading real estate team in South Florida with the addition of Adam R. Seligman as a shareholder in its West Palm Beach office.
Seligman, who joins the firm’s Global Real Estate Practice, advises investors, developers, lenders, high-net-worth families, and property owners in a broad array of real estate and business transactions throughout Florida, including commercial purchase and sale agreements, title insurance, lender representation, luxury residential real estate sales and acquisitions, and lease negotiations.
“As South Florida continues to grow and attract new businesses and residents, Greenberg Traurig is committed to hiring experienced, talented attorneys like Adam to enhance the service we offer clients in the region,” said Richard J. Giusto, co-chair of the firm’s Global Real Estate Practice. “Adam’s arrival reflects our continued focus on expanding our premier real estate practice locally and globally and further solidifies our long-held position as a market leader in South Florida for more than 50 years.”
For nearly two decades, Seligman has concentrated his practice in the areas of commercial real estate law, luxury residential real estate law, distressed property, and business and corporate law.
“Adam’s deep local market knowledge will strengthen the firm’s already-strong real estate capabilities in West Palm Beach,” said Mark F. Bideau and Tracy L. Gerber, managing shareholders of the firm’s West Palm Beach office. “We are excited by the momentum in the West Palm Beach market as the region continues to enjoy robust growth across industries. We look forward to continuing to grow in tandem with our clients and our community in the months and years ahead.”
Prior to Greenberg Traurig, Seligman was a partner and vice president at West Palm Beach-based Ward Damon, where he oversaw the daily operations of the firm and its subsidiary Lighthouse Title Services.
A South Florida native, Seligman grew up in a family of real estate developers. He earned his J.D. from Stetson University College of Law and a B.S. from the University of Florida. He also has an MBA from Stetson University’s School of Business Administration.
“I see myself as a businessperson who happens to practice law. I believe this gives me a valuable, business-oriented perspective on clients’ legal issues and aligns well with the entrepreneurial, client-focused culture at Greenberg Traurig,” Seligman said. “I’ve long admired Greenberg Traurig’s highly regarded real estate team, and I am excited to work with my new colleagues to better serve my existing clients and take my practice to the next level.”
A resident of Palm Beach County since 2005, Seligman is actively involved in the community, including serving as chair of the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County’s Scholarship Committee, and as a member of both its Administrative Management and Financial Oversight Committee and Business and Professionals Committee.
